"Be careful what you pray for... "

"... you might just get it."

Or, an alternate title: Judge Mary Hamm would be proud.

The photo at right is from a WorldNetDaily story, where some Evangelical Christians were quietly doing their thing (evangelizing) where it needed to be done - at a Islamic conference in Dearborn, Michigan.

Aside: The saying "Be careful what you pray for" probably comes from Biblical history, where the Jews, when wandering in the wilderness, would often grumble about this or that. In one instance, they got tired of the manna God provided daily and craved meat. Curiously, God gave them what they wanted. But then... well, you'll have to read the rest of the story.

But just as Judge Mary Hamm lectured me, "Free Speech is not totally free." Here, a Dearborn cop is arresting an Evangelical Christian for "disorderly conduct." His sin? He was quietly sharing the Bible with Muslims... at a Muslim event! Don't want to be doing that, you know. This is the same garbage the Mor... er, Mesa, Arizona cops tried to pull on me!

At the end of my "trial," ostensibly a lawful trial to see if an Injunction Against Harassment was valid (but Judge Mary Hamm suspended the Rules of Procedure, declaring "this isn't a trial"), during the so called "sentencing" Judge Mary Hamm cited ex parte "evidence" and lectured me saying, "Speech is not totally free, and in reviewing the letters written to the minister, to the [potential future] son-in-law, honestly, you're frightening. You seem to think that your evangelicism gives you the right to make accusations of any nature against people [I talked about sin ] and send those out to their friends, their relatives. [Well, doesn't it?] It's amazing."

You need to know that Judge Mary Hamm cited two letters NOT written to the so-called "victim" of Harassment. Instead, Judge Mary Hamm cited two private, spiritual letters I wrote to two allegedly Christian men, discussing Christian things, which tangentially mentioned a Melody Bodine (so-called 'victim') and sin. Did you know that, according to Judge Mary Hamm, you are Harassing someone if you ever mention their name in a private letter to someone else? That's what's Amazing. (I wonder how long before you can't mention others in an email or on a blog?)

Worse, the letter to Mr. Chris Inman, so-called 'pastor' of First Baptist Church of Prescott, Arizona and another letter I wrote to Ryan Shoemaker's father were never entered into evidence! They both had been illegally slipped into the court file, a Class 6 felony. (But Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk refuses to investigate. Have I ever mentioned that Prescott is a small town?)

I guess not. Not in America anymore. There was a million dollar quote in the WorldNetDaily story was from a Canadian onlooker. "I never thought I'd see this in America."

Well, not in a Muslim - or a Mormon - American, anyway. (And I've told you before Judge Mary Hamm is a graduate of Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah.)

I've often thought it's not coincidence that Mormon and Muslim both begin with the letter "M." In many ways, they share a lot alike. Perhaps a wry pun from God?

So I trust Judge Mary Hamm would approve that there is no Free Speech in Muslim dominated Dearborn, Michigan. And I trust all the good christians at First Baptist in Prescott would approve too. Quietly speaking to others about sin (or even shouting to others about sin, as Jesus did), well, that's Harassment, doncha know.

But be careful what you pray for. YOU might just get it next time.
